Abstract
Cimanuk watershed will be affected directly by the dynamics of Cilutung watershed as one of its tributaries. Cimanuk is one of the watershed areas in West Java Province, that is categorized as a critical potential due to erosion and vegetation damage. This study aims to simulate hydrological conditions and erosion rates for each sub-watershed. This research uses several variables: 1) soil type; 2) topography; 3) land use; and 4) climate (temperature, rainfall, solar radiation, wind speed, and relative humidity). Analysis conducted is Hydrology Response Units (HRUs) and statistical analysis. Variable physical characteristics are processed by the overlay method for HRUs analysis. Statistical analysis showed the values of R2 and NSE were 0.48 and 0.32. Based on the calibration and validation results, the values of R2 and NSE are 0.75 and 0.46. This shows a satisfactory and acceptable model. The runoff value tends to show a moderate category between 50-80 in the category of Coefficient of Flow Regime and this is precisely proportional to the rate of erosion. Each sub-watershed shows a high runoff value, tends to produce high erosion rate as well and its reverse. The rate of erosion indicates 175.0 tons/ha / year in the medium category.
